Declining sales, Samsung in difficulty?
Samsung has marketed 11 smartphones since the start of 2023.

Apple, which is pushing back several projects to avoid layoffs, has largely convinced with his iPhone.
According to data from Statcounter, Apple took 27.6%, 27.1% and 28.42% of the shares in the respective months of January, February and March 2023. For Samsung, it’s 27.09%, 26.75% and 27.1%. The gap is therefore slim, Samsung is still able to regain the upper hand over Apple!
